This freezing process locks in the minerals and beneficial nutrients so that the tomato can be transported without losing its nutritional benefit. B. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes are more likely to have a shorter shelf life and have to be eaten quicker. C. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes have a longer shelf life, so they don't rot as quickly. The tomatoes survive delivery to the consumer and provide nutritional value to more people. D. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes can stay on the vine longer to receive nutrients.
